TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

First Reading
A reading from the Book of Isaiah (IS 53:10-11)

The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he

gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his
descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall
be accomplished through him.

Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness

of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify
many, and their guilt he shall bear.

The Word of the Lord

Responsorial Psalm
(Ps 33:4-5, 18-19, 20, 22)
Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust
in you.
Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our
trust in you.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our
trust in you.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.
R. Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our
trust in you.

Second Reading
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews
(Heb 4:14-16)

Brothers and sisters: Since we have a great high priest

who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of
God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not
have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested
in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently
approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to
find grace for timely help.

Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark
(Mk 10:35-45)

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said
to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask
of you." He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?"
They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one
at your right and the other at your left." Jesus said to them,
"You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup
that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am
baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them,
"The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism
with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at
my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for
whom it has been prepared." When the ten heard this, they
became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them
and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized
as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great
ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be
so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among
you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among
you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come
to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for
many."
